"A fossil is any trace of prehistoric life." is TRUE.

Explanation: Fossils include preserved remains (bones, shells, leaves) and traces (footprints, burrows, tracks, impressions) of organisms from the geologic past (typically many thousands of years old). Fossils can be of plants or animals and need not be an entire organism.
